Beautiful Matcha! Powdered tea used in the Japanese formal tea ceremony. Only the finest tea leaves are destined to be processed into Matcha. Once powdered, the leaves fully release their rich antioxidant and polyphenol content to develop the thick, grassy character. Top-grade Matcha is a bright shade of green. As a rule, the lighter green varieties are sweeter and the darker ones more astringent. Matcha is one of the most intricately manufactured teas. The cup is characterized by a vegetal, intense flavor and can be sweet. It should be whisked into suspension but can be infused into the water as well. When whisking matcha, certain components of tea which are non-soluble in water, such as Vitamin A and leaf fiber, are actually ingested when drinking the tea. Our Matcha is fine grade 10-15 micron and is Organic certified by Pro-Cert Organic Systems Ltd. Enjoy Matcha as your beverage, and/or add it to your smoothies.

Love this matcha powder. I add it to my morning green smoothie and it gives it a fresh taste without bitterness. I feel more energetic after drinking it (not jittery). I'm much happier with the quality of this matcha than the previous one I'd purchased from Amazon. I will definitely keep purchasing teas from Winsome!
